Today I wrote a few proverbial thoughts that came to mind about listening. I love short pithy truth. Hope you like a few of them too.
Listen before you leap.
All things talk; very few things listen.
Listen to words; act on body language.
Listening is not a art; it’s a choice.
Listen to those who disagree with you.
Invite criticism; edit yourself.
The most important thing to listen for is what’s not said.
Listen to them with your eyes; watch them with your ears; touch them with your heart.
Be wise; listen to silence.
About each moment, movement and memory your body speaks to you — listen.
Don’t let your listening stop your thinking.
Hang on words; swing on sentences; beware long speeches.
